Miniature Vacuum?

No experience with that but my daughter got me a Shark handheld cordless vacuum for Christmas, model WV200.  Nice vacuum, lives up to the name Shark!

That "mini vacuum" is just a collection of tools to connect to a standard vacuum, it's not really a vacuum.

I just checked the Micro-Mark page for this item.  For $9.95, it's a good deal and worth having around.

I have basically the same thing, which can be purchased at hardware stores, home improvement stores, Walmart's, etc.  For usually $12.99 and more.

They are nothing more than miniature attachments that can be hooked up to your shop vac, and allow you to get into small, tight spaces where the normal shop vac attachments are too big for.  Perfect for use on the layout, as you can work in and around a lot of small details with a lot less worries about sucking the details right off the layout like you probably would with full-sized attachments.  The quality of the attachments is pretty good too, in my opinion.

Handy accessory to have around.  I'd recommend it.

I duct taped a piece of 1/4” aluminum tube to the end of one of my shop vac hoses. Gets in small places. Costs pennies. Reverse shop vac, it can blow dust out of small places also.  JohnA

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the info.

It's a great tool, just as described. See the article, Keeping Things Clean, by Jim Barrett in Barrett in the Backshop series in Run 313 in OGR Magazine or Chapter 42 in the recently published text of all his columns.  Based upon that article, I purchased the tool, and use it often in tight spaces.

Enjoy,
